Hi Alec, Bob and Camerons that wrote concerning the Cameron 7 in
Cataraqui Cemetery,(Frontenac) Kingston Ontario, Canada.
Thanks for your input, motivation. I did get ahold of a very nice
fellow this AM and he is going to send my some info on my Camerons-the
'lay of the land' so to speak. He was very helpful. He suggested I fax
my details, and he would send anything he has on my ancestors. I will
let you know what happens. I will also let you know if he has any
details on the Marion Cameron and Charles Cameron.
If he finds nothing, I will then snail mail, at Alec's suggestion, the
photos I have, and hopefully that will help.
Bob you were right, I called after hours I bet.
Cheers, Peg V

Hi Peggy,
Thanks for the "forward". It is possible because of the time zone
differance(1 hour) that you missed their office hours. We were there at
about 3:30pm and they were in the 'process' of slowing to 4 at which time
they closed. That was when the attendent took us to the Cameron sites and we
got your pictures.
He stayed with us and I think followed us to the gate to close the
place. Maybe try a bit earlier in the day, but watch out for lunch hour .
Best of luck and keep us posted.
